We had planned a holiday for four days and were looking for a perfect retreat to rejuvenate. We had our first kid four months ago and were keen to take our baby along, who is five months old. We were looking for a infant friendly place with a good spa.

I was skeptical when our agent suggested klr. The reason .. The place was a two hour drive from the nearest Cochin (Kochi) airport, and it did not figure in the current lists of top 10 spa hotels of India. However, after evaluating several options, we decided to give it a try. We opted for a 3 nights rejuvenation package with full board.

We departed from our home town of Bengaluru for Kochi by the late morning Kingfisher flight. We landed an hour late. It was nice to find our pickup waiting at the arrival hall. We were glad to find that klr had sent in a spacious and comfortable Inova to take us to the hotel. I'm giving full points to klr for tracking our delayed flight and sending a good car. Klr seams to have aptly overcome its locational disadvantage. The two hour ride was smooth and baby Amartya decided to take a nap for most part of the ride.

We were well received at the hotel and escorted to our room. We find the room clean and comfortable. The wash room is well maintained and has a spacious Jacuzzi. On or request klr provided a oriental crib for baby Amartya. The property has a nature all around and even has a artificial canal running in between.

After a short brake, We took a small walk to the lake side Tea Stall at the hotel. We were served nice tea & coffee with traditional kerala snacks.

It was almost 5 in the eVening, as a part of our package we could take two spa treatments per head per day. So we decided to hit the spa. I decided to go for a full body Kerala Ayurvedic Massage, My better half decided to babysit till I was done.

The massage was very relaxing and exceeded 'kerala massage' standards,( you'd know what I mean if you've had one of those vigorous oil application sessions) The massage was provided by two dudes who were well trained and courteous. The massage room and wash room were clean and well maintained. I Would rate the massage as one of the best I have received.

It was my turn to baby sit as she went for her spa treatments. We plan to checkout the restaurant for dinner thereafter.

The next day we took the cycles maintained by KLR to visit the town of kumarkom which is 5-7 Kim's away. We had to watch out for unruly traffic, the ride itself was very pleasant.

Stayed in this property for 3 days in October 2012 with family, relaxing holiday, loved the swimming pool view and the evening sunset cruise organised by the hotel for all their guests - alongwith the flute performers ! Our room had a small private swimming (baby) pool which my son absolutely adored and wanted to be in it the whole time ! The room decor was a little too keralish and traditional for my taste ! I would have preferred a more modern bed ! The breakfast spread was lavish, they need to add some more options in their room delivery menu. Overall a relaxing experience with an excellent view of the lake and the kettuvallams (house boats) passing by ...........

We loved this hotel. The hotel ground was nice with waterways running across the hotel. Our room was on the 2nd floor at the corner of the front building so we had really good view of the lake. It was beautifully decorated and spaceous. However, our entry way ceiling light was out so getting back to the room after dinner was a challenge because we had to struggle to open an anciet looking metal lock with a big key. (The lock was quite interesting though) We called the reception but nothing was done the first night. We had to grab the room boy in the morning and pointed to the light so he could understain what we were talking about. Getting communication across in India is generally a challenge. The hotel restaurant had a very good buffet spread and staff were very attentive. They even understood and remembered my gluten free dietary needs. (Thanks!) We tried the complimentary afternoon tea and even though there was nothing for me to eat because what they offered were all gluten, I didn't mind at all. Sitting down at the lawn area with a cup of chai and admiring the view of the lake was a good way to wind down the day. Do take the cruise out to enjoy Kumarakom lake. It is complimentary for hotel guests and it provides music performance on the boat. It was truly a wonderful experience. Wouldn't mind to go back there again!

Room Tip: Upstaris unit, close to restaurant, front view of lake is the best!

This hotel is simply beautiful we stayed in the pool villa, simply breath taking the room was beautiful, as was the pool. The bathroom is out side which was strange but also quite nice! The only problem with our stay was a protest kicked off outside the grounds so we were evacuated to the airport so we wouldn't miss our flight, because of this we did not stay on the houseboat overnight, we did however enjoy the day on the boat it was lovely to explore the backwaters or Kerala. However I found the staff at the hotel to be informative passing on information of the strike/protest, no refund, or special treatment was taken. I felt we missed out on a once in a life time experience and the staff didn't seem to be bothered about this which was a shame. Obviously this is a freak incident and can't be helped maybe we will return one day.

We stayed here for 1 night but wished we had more time. The room was great and we had our own private jacuzzi in the bathroom! There are fun activities to do like pottery, mat weaving, etc. We also had a massage at the Spa which was good but VERY expensive. For the price they charged I would have expected better service and pampering! All in all it was good!

This Definitely is one of the Best Resorts. The resort was started in 2000 & it has a Very Traditional Look without Compromising on the Comfort. You should state in the Villa which are by the Pool. It is an Experience. The Staff are Very Cheerfuller & Helpful. Sea Food is a Must! Prawn, Pear fish are fresh! The food is Amazing. If you like the Monsoon (June/July) can be a Good time to Visit. The Offer some Very good Ayurvedha Therapy. Go to KLR & Rejuvenate your self. Cheers!

Room Tip: Try the Rooms By the Pool.
